Created attachment 729780 [details] catalyst-3.0.20 output log showing failure It looks like something in catalyst-3.0.20 is failing to create the target subdirectory under 'snap_cache' before attempting to untar the portage snapshot. E.g., given the following conditions: - My portage snapshot uses a YYYYMMDD datestamp - The catalyst root is /nas/catalyst - "snapcache" is in the catalyst options - snap_cache/ is empty Then during the unpack phase, tar attempts to access /nas/catalyst/snap_cache/YYYYMMDD, and fails because the 'YYYYMMDD' directory does not exist. If I manually create this directory first, then it proceeds to unpack normally. I diffed back several versions, and the only standout was the removal of the locking code around the unpacking code between 3.0.18 and 3.0.19. However, I don't know if snakeoil's locking code may have done something helpful like create a missing directory before locking it if it didn't yet exist, or if something somewhere else in catalyst is failing to do a 'mkdir' first to create the snap_cache/YYYYMMDD folder. I've attached the output log of a failed run. There are also two syntax warnings worth looking at that popup unrelated to this issue when you force Python to recompile catalyst's modules, which I discovered when editing stagebase.py to toss in some debugging code: /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/catalyst/base/stagebase.py:484: SyntaxWarning: "is" with a literal. Did you mean "=="? self.settings["source_matching"] is "strict" /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/catalyst/base/stagebase.py:1124: SyntaxWarning: "is not" with a literal. Did you mean "!="? if flags not in self.settings or (flags is not "COMMON_FLAGS" and
Created attachment 729792 [details] stage1 spec file for o32_mips2 Attaching my spec file that triggers the bug, in case any of the value help ascertain the core issue.
